Sometimes you buy a haunted painting and have to tell your friends. And sometimes you have to tell your guest a bunch of haunted theatre stories once they get back from tour. Thankfully we have writer and podcaster Jeffrey Cranor on to discuss all of those things!
Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of traffic accidents, death, child death, vomiting, fire, mannequins, sex, surgery, and teeth.
Guest
Jeffrey Cranor is the co-creator and co-writer of Welcome to Night Vale and Within the Wires. He also co-creates theater and dance pieces with choreographer/wife Jillian Sweeney. They live in New York.
